What do people think of these? I guess it's a bit premature, but I felt like doing it. I suppose the most controversial thing about these predictions is my complete snub of American Gangster, but I don't think it's really so unlikely (plus, I have it as an alternate in several categories). I also included Brad Pitt over far more oscary candidates, cause I figure they may want him and Angie as a two-pack. Other "no guts no glory" choices include Ashley Judd for actress and A Mighty Heart for best pic. Yes, these are REAL predictions. I really think all these things will happen.
